FC Barcelona Lassa and Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar met for the third time in one week, this time at Palau Blaugrana, as both teams tried to take the lead in their best-of-five playoffs series. Lokomotiv had a strong start and got early leads behind an inspired performance from Malcolm Delaney, who had 11 of his 15 points in the first quarter. Barcelona needed a go-to guy in Alex Abrines, who had 15 points in the final 6 minutes of the second quarter. Barcelona improved its defense in the second half to keep control of the game. Abrines finished the game with 25 points, leading Barcelona within one win of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four, 82-70.
